If we are talking about the OL play leading to the defense playing better, the running game is critical. We know Brown Jr. = better pass blocking on the left side, but the OL's continuity may lead to run lanes being open more often. Specifically on the right side with Cappa, but it really comes down to what they get out of RT.
We hope for the best with the young RB, for more efficiency out of Mixon and blocking (though still threaten dowfield) from the rag tag TE crew. That's where the bigger questions may be.
Being able to run block out of 4 wide sets will be the biggest test. I know we didn't use those sets much last year, but if Jones is who we think he is we may justify using 4 wide more. Especially if/when Smith Jr. missed time.
